The Saints home opener on Tuesday, April 12 against the Indianapolis Indians (Pittsburgh Pirates) takes place at 6:37 p.m., a half hour earlier than the usual 7:05 p.m. start. The rest of the weekday games during that six game homestand will also take place at 6:37 p.m. with the Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17 games at 2:07 p.m. The Saints will continue those game times during their second homestand, a 12-game set from April 26-May 8.
Beginning with their third homestand on May 24, the Saints will return to their regular 7:07 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday game times and 2:07 p.m. Sunday game times.
